Answer:

Fossil of the hard-shelled organism which shows the surface contours giving the exact 3D shape of the organism is called a mold and cast fossil. Fossils are formed in water bodies where the sediments can be deposited over the dead and decayed organisms.  

When hard-shelled organism dies, still water plays important role in the formation of these fossils as: when water from sediment leaches our it decays the organic matter which creates void which is filled by sediment or mineral matter and the acidic water dissolves and breakdown the shell which gets surrounded by the mud or sand which hardens.

Thus, water plays an important role in the formation of mold and cast fossils.

Still waters allow for sediments to settle down on fossils without disturbance. This gives the minerals in the sediments time to perfuse in the fossils and petrify the fossil.  The sediments also settle on the fossils without disturbance, take the form of the fossil and get cemented forming molds.

Answer:

Polymerase chain reaction machine

Primers

Petri dishes

Test tubes

Pipettes

DNA Polymerase

Free nucleotides

The organism to be identified

Explanation:

To identify the genetic makeup of an unknown organism, the nucleotide sequences fond in the Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) of a known organism is matched to the DNA of some known organisms.

Answer: Exponential

Explanation:

The main requirement for the population of a species to grow is food. When there is food, a organisms that are born will be able to live longer because food will be able to sustain them.

This is what happened with humans during the Neolithic Revolution when we began farming.

The general trend is that the more food that is available, the higher the population growth. When these butterflies arrived and found no competition for food, their population would increase in the highest way possible which is exponentially because there would be plenty of food to go around.
